On the Correlation Structure of Microstructure Noise : A Financial Economic Approach

Diebold, Francis X. - 2010

volatility estimation. In particular, we use market microstructure theory to derive the cross-correlation function between latent … returns and market microstructure noise, which feature prominently in the recent volatility literature. The cross-correlation … geometrically. If market makers are sufficiently risk averse, however, the cross-correlation pattern is inverted. Our results are …

Clustering, Spatial Correlations and Randomization Inference

Barrios, Thomas - 2010

It is standard practice in empirical work to allow for clustering in the error covariance matrix if the explanatory variables of interest vary at a more aggregate level than the units of observation. Often, however, the structure of the error covariance matrix is more complex, with correlations...

Testing the Correlated Random Coefficient Model

Heckman, James J. - 2009

The recent literature on instrumental variables (IV) features models in which agents sort into treatment status on the basis of gains from treatment as well as on baseline-pretreatment levels. Components of the gains known to the agents and acted on by them may not be known by the observing...

The Determinants of Stock and Bond Return Comovements

Baele, Lieven - 2009

We study the economic sources of stock-bond return comovements and its time variation using a dynamic factor model. We identify the economic factors employing a semi-structural regime-switching model for state variables such as interest rates, inflation, the output gap, and cash flow growth. We...

Henriksen, Espen - 2009

Cyclical fluctuations in nominal variables--aggregate price levels and nominal interest rates--are documented to be substantially more synchronized across countries than cyclical fluctuations in real output. A transparent mechanism that can account for this striking feature of the nominal...

Identification with Imperfect Instruments

Nevo, Aviv - 2008

instrumental variables that are assumed to be uncorrelated with unobservables. We instead assume (i) the correlation between the … instrument and the error term has the same sign as the correlation between the endogenous regressor and the error term, and (ii …

High School Alcohol Use and Young Adult Labor Market Outcomes

Chatterji, Pinka - 2006

We estimate the relationship between 10th grade binge drinking in 1990 and labor market outcomes in 2000 among National Educational Longitudinal Survey respondents. For females, adolescent drinking and adult wages are unrelated, and negative employment effects disappear once academic achievement...

Big Business Stability and Economic Growth : Is What's Good for General Motors Good for America?

Fogel, Kathy - 2006

What is good for big business need not generally advance a country's overall economy. Big business turnover correlates with rising income, productivity, and (in high income countries) faster capital accumulation; consistent with Schumpeter's (1912) creative destruction and recent formalizations...
